Our family used to love coming to Red Lobster to celebrate special occasions like birthdays, New Years Eve and Valentine's Day. However, over our last few visits, we've noticed a decline in both quality and value of the food.
We recently visited with four adults and a toddler and spent over $200 including tip. No one left satisfied. Three of us ordered the surf and turf entree and the steak they served was of low quality and did not taste good. The sizes of the steaks all varied-- the largest one was almost double the size of the smallest one. The Rock lobster tails were rubbery, tasted obviously frozen and were not pulled up from the shell (which is how we usually receive them...not sure why this wasn't done this time), which made them hard to eat. The portion of French fries we got on the side was chincy. The second batch of biscuits we received were burnt. The hostess who assigned our table looked miserable.
We don't mind spending $$$ on food, but it better be good. We all agreed that Red Lobster would no longer be on our rotation of restaurants to visit as a family from now on. The value just isn't there anymore. There are tons of other restaurants with better food for less money.
See ya, Red Lobster! It was fun while it lasted...
